SBA Loan Benefits

SBA guaranteed loans are term loans and/or mortgages obtained through a bank or commercial lending institution and guaranteed by the SBA. The lending institution provides the funds and terms, while the SBA guarantees as much as 80% of the loan principal.

The BankNewport Advantage

Not every business fits into a particular box, so BankNewport offers a variety of special SBA loan programs to suit your particular needs and goals.

SBA 7a Loan Program

The 7a Loan Program guarantees financing for a wide array of general business purposes. This program helps to keep your commercial mortgage payment lower and improve cash flow. Your 7a Loan options include our Express Program, Export Loan Program, or Special Purpose Loans Program.

SBA 504 Loan Program

Ideal for commercial real estate purchases or the expansion of your business, a 504 loan is designed for more traditional businesses. These are delivered in conjunction with Certified Development Companies, more commonly referred to as CDCs. The major benefits of this program are long-term, fixed-rate financing, and lower down payments.

Additional information can be obtained at the SBA website, which is: www.sba.gov

Lines of credit up to $75,000 and term loans up to $150,000 that are financed in conjunction with the SBAExpress Program are also supported within BankNewport’s Small Business Lending Program category.
